kroger sushi

a bit of an oxymoron, yes. disgusting, no.

i was actually quite pleased when brian and i popped into the new fresh fare kroger in kenwood (its proximity to crate and barrel made it an easy stop) and saw they had decent looking sushi, 12 rolls for about $6. they offer white rice, 15 grain, and brown rice. we got the brown rice california rolls and spicy variety pack, which included tuna, salmon, and shrimp(?). a quick trip to the 'international' aisle and we picked up ginger and wasabi. they do come in the plastic container of sushi, but looked a little anemic.

it definitely wasn't the best sushi i've had. the rice was slightly mushy and some of the rolls kind of fell apart while being dipped in tamari. however, the flavor was acceptable and it was an easy dinner at a hectic time of year.

the recipe for our friendship

we're just two girls born and bred on the westside who grew up loving high school football, church festivals, cheap beer, and, of course, food. we're always looking for something new to taste, even if it's not the most recent addition to the menu at price hill chili.as is the genesis for many great friendships, we met through a mutual friend at a bar, circa 2000, and realized it was unbelievable we hadn't met previously. we knew the same people, had hung out at the same places, probably passed each other a million times. we were (and are) each other's kevin bacon. we both like to eat, drink, and eat some more. and, let's be honest, drink some more, too.questions? we'd love to hear from you at westsidefoodiewannabes@gmail.com.
